'Eavesdroppers' Goes Cruising

This is a good one I heard while I was on a cruise in Alaska.

[We are sitting in a karaoke bar on the ship. There is a woman a few chairs over who has just ordered a margarita. It is about 11 PM. As the time creeps past midnight, she has made her way through about 5 drinks. She has the umbrellas and glasses spread across the table at which she is sitting. All of a sudden she gathers the paper umbrellas and starts sticking them in her hair. She gets them all in there and admires her reflection in a mirror. We watch her for a while, and then decide we should get off to bed. As we are leaving, she speaks to the man sitting next to her.]
Drunk Rich Woman: I just LOVE these...margaritas...[pauses and pats her umbrella-filled hair] and the umbrellas, too!
